This weekend in Tahoe was a good one. ❤️

I walked away winning Masters 35+ and Open Class D, which I’m so thankful for… but these pictures are really what this season has been about for me. 🙏🏼

I seriously hit the jackpot with my family.🥹🥰

They’ve been along for ALL of it. The travel, the meal prep, the check-ins, eating meals out of containers while everyone else is eating the “fun foods” 😂 and hearing me say more times than I can count, “No, I can’t just have one tiny bite.”🫠

And they got it. They knew I had a goal and never made me feel bad for choosing it.

Having our girls there to actually see me accomplish what they’ve watched me work toward made this weekend even better. I hope they remember that part—the work that happened before the medals. That you can set a goal, make choices that don’t always feel fun in the moment, and eventually get to see those choices pay off.🙌🏼

I’m so thankful God gave me a healthy, able body and the opportunity to see what I can do with it when I take care of it and push myself. ✝️

And then there’s my husband… who has now successfully survived an entire show season. 😂 The food scale, the schedule, the prep brain, and some emotions that were probably a little more dramatic than the situation called for. 🤣 Thank you for loving me through all of it and always being in my corner. Most importantly by my side through the early wake-up’s, check ins, training and challenging days 🫶🏻 You make me want to always be better, and believe in me before I even believe in myself 😘

The medals are pretty freaking cool. But getting to walk away from this season with my family beside me, knowing they were part of the whole thing, is what I’ll remember most.

So grateful for this experience.

And also VERY ready for an off season. 😂❤️

✨Special thanks to my team of coaches

NPC Arkansas State Championship 🏆

Came to Arkansas with a goal and left as the Fit Model Overall Champion, plus wins in Open Class B, Masters 35+ and Masters 40+. 🥹🏆

After Universe, I knew I needed more reps on stage. We tweaked a few peak week details, I got another chance to get up there, have fun with it, and put what I learned into practice.

The interesting part? The two weeks leading into this show looked nothing like a normal prep. We were traveling, spending days at the lake, celebrating with family AND ringing in my 40th birthday. 🎂

The temptation was REAL. Burgers, cake, Cheetos, all the fun lake food… meanwhile I was doing check-ins on vacation, meal prepping wherever we were, and putting 40th birthday candles in my chicken and protein pancakes. 😂

But I never want this to sound like I was suffering or missing out. I was choosing.

I chose the goal I set for myself. I chose to stay on plan when nobody was making me. I chose to prep my meals, do the check-ins and keep going, even when it would’ve been really easy to say, “I’m on vacation, close enough.”

And standing there with that overall trophy made every one of those little choices worth it. 🏆

Most of all, I’m thankful for my family. They knew there were moments I was torn about not eating what everyone else was eating or celebrating my birthday the usual way, and they supported me through all of it. Never made me feel bad, never made it harder, just loved me and understood why this mattered to me. ❤️

40 years old. Fit Model Overall Champion. And still learning every single time I step on stage.

This one feels pretty damn good. 💚🏆 by @v.lady.a

Donuts can fit. Pizza can fit. Date nights can fit.
The goal isn’t to eat “perfectly.”
The goal is to build a lifestyle you can actually sustain.

Structure + flexibility = long-term results. 🍩 #nationaldonutday #healthyhabits #nutritioncoaching #balancednutrition #themoreyouknow by @v.lady.a

I don’t wish I was 30 again.

I like who I am at 40 a whole lot more.

More disciplined. More confident. More comfortable in my own skin.

Turns out, putting in the work year after year has its payoffs.

Clarinet lessons are apparently a family activity now 😂🎶
I’m not sure who’s having more fun with this, but I love getting to do it together 💚

Finally a reason to get the pads replaced on mine!

🎼This clarinet has walked some miles with me over the years, from the 🌹 Rose Parade in California, to the 🍊 Orange Bowl Parade in Florida, and more 🎅 Santa Claus Parades in Toronto than I can count☃️. Pretty cool to pull it back out and share it with her now. 💚 #woodwinds #bandgeeks by @v.lady.a

For all my fitness girlies 🎃💪🏼

Friendly reminder: pumpkin pie is basically a custard… and custard is made with eggs. 👀

So if you’ve got:
🥚 Lean protein = egg whites
🎃 High-volume carbs = canned pumpkin

…you can turn your post-workout meal into a delicious, macro-friendly pumpkin pie. 🥧🤤

Because your fitness goals do NOT mean eating boring food. 🙌🏼

Fall flavors + gains = yes please. 🍂💪🏼 taken in Arkansas by @v.lady.a

How I stay on track while traveling ✈️🥗 — carry-on only!

Travel doesn’t mean I have to completely abandon my routine. A little planning ahead makes it SO much easier. 👏🏼

Before my trip:

1. Meal prep my usual foods — chicken, sweet potatoes, rice + veggies. I stick with the same meals I normally eat at home because it keeps digestion predictable and eliminates decision fatigue.
2. Figure out how many meals I’ll need for the length of the trip and label my vacuum-seal bags accordingly.
3. Weigh, seal + freeze everything. I freeze every meal except the ones I’ll eat on travel day. That last frozen meal doubles as an ice pack for the rest. 🧊
4. On travel day, I put all of my food in a plastic grocery bag so it’s easy to pull out when going through security. Once I’m through TSA, it can go right back into my cooler/bag.
5. At TSA, I put the food bag in its own bin for screening. In my experience, this makes things much easier than having it buried inside my luggage where they may have to dig through everything and potentially pull the bag aside.
6. And yes — you can bring scissors through TSA as long as they meet the carry-on requirements. ✂️

Is it glamorous? Nope. 😂 But having food I know works for me makes traveling so much easier and helps me stay consistent without stressing about finding the “perfect” meal everywhere I go.

Preparation > perfection. ✈️💪🏼 Happy travels!

There’s something incredibly special about having the right person beside you through all of it—the good, the hard, the growth, the changes, and everything in between. 🤍

As our 6-year anniversary approaches, I’m reminded how lucky I am that I married someone who makes me feel safe enough to let go of old fears and insecurities and simply rest in knowing I’m loved, supported, and never alone.

There’s a kind of peace that comes from knowing you’ve found your person—the one who chooses you over and over again, knows every version of you, and still loves you completely.

And the best part? You’re married to me now, so…. No take-backs. No returns. You can’t leave. 😂🤍

God is good. 🙏🏼 Thank you for blessing me with a husband who brings so much love, comfort, laughter, and peace into my life. I’d choose you every time. 🤍 by @v.lady.a

A little Santa Monica sunshine, a little Muscle Beach history, a workout at the original Gold’s Gym, and a whole lot of fun with my favorite person. ☀️🌴💪

Definitely one of those days I’ll want to remember. ❤️
